Campus Parking

The University of San Francisco has approximately 700 parking spaces available on-campus. Considering that the number of faculty and staff members far exceeds 700, the vast majority of these spaces are consumed by faculty and staff of the University. A handful of spaces are allocated to students each academic year. Please see Transportation section to view commuting options available to faculty, staff and students.

All parking lots on campus are now first-come, first-served for faculty, staff, students and guests with valid permits. Semester and annual permits can be purchased through iParq, and daily permits can be purchased from the Main Gate or Lone Mountain Gate kiosks for $15.

All drivers on campus are subject to the University of San
Francisco parking regulations. Each driver is responsible for knowing and
abiding by these regulations. The rules and regulations apply 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. Faculty and Staff living within a ½ mile of campus
are not eligible for parking permits. Students living within 3 miles of
campus are not eligible for parking permits.
